摘要: 本文为在进气道里装有调整叶片的滚塑烘箱建立了2 种传热模型。一种是烘箱内不包含滚塑模具的无模具模型,目的是从理论上研究烘箱内部空气温度分布的均匀性与叶片转角间的关系;另一种是考虑滚塑模具的大小及转动的有模具模型,目的是从理论上研究模具表面温度分布的均匀性与叶片转角间的关系。结果表明,基于这2种传热模型,通过FLUENT软件对滚塑工艺的加热过程进行了数值仿真,将上、下叶片均设置为水平方向可使得烘箱内部空气的温度分布最均匀,将上、下叶片的转角分别设置为0 °和20 °可使得2 m长模具的表面温度分布最均匀;另外通过该仿真研究,还得到了当上、下叶片均设置为水平方向时模具表面温度分布的均匀性随模具长度的变化规律。

Abstract: In this work, two heat transfer models were established for an oven of rotational molding with adjustable vanes inside its inlet. One was the so-called “model without mould”, in which there was no mould inside the oven. The purpose for establishing this model was to theoretically study the relation of temperature uniformity of air inside the oven with turning angles of vanes. The other one was so called “model with a mould”, in which the size and rotation of mould were considered. The purpose for establishing this model was to theoretically study the relation of temperature uniformity of mould wall with turning angles of vanes. Based on these two heat transfer models, the heating process of rotational molding was simulated numerically by means of the FLUENT software. It was concluded that the temperature uniformity of air inside the oven was optimum when both lower and upper vanes were set at the horizontal direction, and the temperature uniformity at the wall of 2 m long mould was optimum when the turning angles of upper and lower vanes were set as 0 ° and 20 ° respectively. In addition, the simulation study also demonstrated how the temperature uniformity of mould wall varied with the mould length when both the lower and upper vanes were set at the horizontal direction.
